Wolves £5.5m signing's representatives holds 'positive' transfer talks over move away

Wolves could face a battle to keep Pablo Sarabia at Molineux this summer. 

Turkish giants Besiktas are reportedly interested in signing the Spanish forward. A report from Türkiye Gazetesi claims that Besiktas have already held talks with Sarabia’s representatives and they have been ‘positive’. 

It adds that Sarabia would be in favour of a move because he wants to play for a team that plays in a European competition. Should Besiktas win the Turkish Cup where they are in the semi-finals then they would qualify for the UEFA Europa League.

Official negotiations are believed to begin when the season ends for both clubs. Besiktas play their final league match on May 26 with Wolves' ending on May 19.

Besiktas are currently fifth in the Turkish Super League and are a point behind Istanbul Basaksehir who as it stands would automatically qualify for the UEFA Conference League. They have former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on their books as well as Joe Worrall from Nottingham Forest.

The 31-year-old has played 34 times this season in all competitions with 14 goal contributions. He has got seven assists and four goals in the Premier League and also set up three goals in the Carabao Cup.

Sarabia joined Wolves on a two-and-a-half-year deal from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2023 for a reported £4.4m after being signed by Julen Lopetegui. He is under contract at Wolves until the summer of 2025.

Earlier this month, he expressed his happiness in the West Midlands. In an interview with the club he said: “When I signed here, I knew that I wanted to be an important player here and I want to carry on being a really important part of this club, as they gave me an opportunity to be here.

“They treat me like family. I think that’s the most important thing and I will give my all for them until the last day. That’s what I have done from the start.”
